Vintage Inspiration Lace and Fabric Kits

With Christmas coming up very fast
I was thinking perhaps these 
Vintage Inspiration Kits of Lace
and French script fabrics
along with these beautiful images


 may inspire a little creativity within you!

These images are from my own collection and they come
with the bones of a little book 5.5 x 4 inches with batting
and some scripted French cotton fabrics
and a lovely selection of
vintage laces, doilies, netted flower fabric,
beaded appliques, pearl buttons
and other little bits and pieces. 



 There are so many different projects these can
be used for and they are only limited
by your imagination!






This is another similar kit but with antique
children images
and a lovely selection of more laces and French script 
fabrics.
























These Inspiration Kits are definitely just the thing
for all of you who love these old images and laces
and
are now available in my Etsy shop
so
pop over and take a look there
as this one has already flown out the shop!

  
Thanks so much for looking here today dear friends!
Have a wonderful weekend!

An Eco-dyed paper and Textile Concertina - SNT No. 49

 Dear Blog friends 
here is my latest little concertina book
"Tattered whispers on the breeze"
made from handmade paper


 


 and inspired by the beautiful artwork of
Lynne Moncrieff of Lynnesbowsandbells blog
 

 


 It was so much fun to create
using papers from my eco-dyed little stash of silks and water colour papers
along with many other vintage page papers, tea bag papers, envelopes, vintage music, tags and other ephemera.








but what was new this time was the use of
some of Lynne's wild flower stamps

 











 and her nature themed Affirmation Stamps





which I so love to be inspired with!

 















 I also incorporated the use of 
scraps of vintage lace
which I dyed with tea, rust and some copper pipe!
All of these papers were put in together
in the dye bath!




 The book itself is only 4 x 6 inches
and what you see below is this
little bag, made from
vintage linen dyed in the same bath
to hold this sweet little treasure
of inspiring pages and affirmations!

Simply Neutrals post will be the 50th!




 Many thanks to all of my new followers and

Love to hear from you all!
Have a wonderful week!
